In a world that often shies away from difficult conversations, Death Over Dinner invited guests to gather, break bread, and speak the unspeakable. This evening was an invitation to lean gently into the discomfort of mortality, held in a space of warmth, curiosity, and care.
Guiding the conversation was Emily Bootle, founder of DeathCare BC, whose work in grief navigation, legacy, funeral pre-planning and compassionate deathcare has helped many find clarity and peace in life’s most tender transitions.
Chef Mack Isaak’s exquisite three-course meal, paired with thoughtfully curated BC wines and handcrafted cocktails served by Sagebrush Sips, was inspired by comfort food — but with an elevated, fine dining flair.
Through shared stories, deep reflection, and the simple act of gathering around the table, guests discovered that talking about death is, in fact, a way to more fully embrace life.

Our largest & most elevated supper club yet, Women & Business was an ode to the gals who desire to grow both in life and in the world of work, money & passion. This event was co-hosted by the vivacious Carmen Morken. With 5 keynote speakers, the conversation was incredibly dynamic, representing a variety of industries and personality types. Fullest Table welcomed financial consutant & wealth management expert Kelsey Boudreau , business coach Angie Olson , transformational life coach Emma Hull, somatic practitioner Kayla Brazier and quantum healer Pam Dhillon to the stage to share their wisdom on business & life with 112 guests. Chef Mack Isaak produced yet another decadent three course meal that showcased seasonal autumn flavours. Ask anyone who was there - and they will confirm that Women & Business is sure to go down in Kamloops history as one of the most elevated events our community has seen.

Our highly anticipated encore Supper Club for the winter season celebrated the many facets of desire. After a presentation by Brina Braun of Bare by Brina Studios and words from Fullest Table founder, Kayla Brazier, guests connected over conversational themes such as ego, authenticity, repression, money, and pleasure - among an endless variety of others. A decadent, french inspired menu by chef Mack Isaak accompanied local wines. The evening buzzed with an energy of indulgence, inspiration, and an anticipation for the coming spring season.
Our first gathering as the Fullest table community took place in the historic Commodore building in downtown Kamloops. Guests were inspired by words of wisdom from community leaders and entrepreneurs Leilani Reid and Kyla Erlandson, and nourished by a gluten & dairy-free, Moroccan inspired menu by Jessica Lavelle of Gingerly Nourished. We discussed the ever-important theme of cultivating self-worth as the most foundational work in the journey to the fullest life.
